NAME
       auth_passwd - Change account's password

SYNOPSIS
	   #include <courierauth.h>

       int rc=auth_passwd(const char *service, const char *username, const char *oldpassword, const char *newpassword);

DESCRIPTION
       If username's password is oldpassword, it is replaced with newpassword.	service identifies which so-called "service"'s password is
       changed; like "imap" or "pop3". Some Courier authentication library's back-end module can use different passwords for different services.
       service is ignored if this is not the case.

RETURNS
       auth_passwd returns 0 if the password was succesfully changed. A non-0 error code indicates a failure..
